CETTING GOOD.
A caucus of the republican mem
bers of the senate has decided that no
attempt will be made to make polit
ical capital out of the Mexican situa
tion and that nothing will be done that
mi-rht embarrass President Wilson in
his handling of the diplomatic and mil
itary affairs in Mexico. In other
words, the republican members of the
senate have collectively agreed that
for the time being they will respect
their oath of office and perform the
duties imposed upon them by the con
stitution and the laws of the country
that they will stop playing dirty i
politics in the senate for the mere pur
pose of gaining political advantage. Ii
is very nice indeed in republican sen
ators to suspend their mud slinging
as soon as they discovered that it had
become unpopular among the patriotic
rank and file of their party. Their
change of attituda toward the presi
dent has come so late, however, that
it must be attributed to their regard
for the law of self preservation rather
than to a change of heart. And in
view of their past persistent policy of
obstruction to all things democratic,
one cannot believe that the conversion
is more than skin de ?p nor that their
good behavior will outlast their fear
of political danger. It has been said
that in America politics stop at the
shore of the sea, but it is a matter of
history that since the great war in
Europe became a serious menace to
this nation, many republican senators
have carried politics as far into the
tea as safety to themselves would per
mit. In many instances the political
utacks on the president by republican
senators have perceptibly influenced
the warring nations of Europe to the
detriment of this country. These at-
acks have made the president's task
far more difficult than it would have
een had republican ftoators pos
sessed a higher sense of duty and a
truer spirit rf American patriotism.
Notwithstanding American politics.
he people of Europe take it for grant
ed that the same opposition to the j
president exists among the senate, j
and they act accordingly. Of course j
the' e are none among us w ho fears j
that there might be any division in
congress or among the people in the
event that this country should become
involved in war, but it is u fact to be
leeply regretted that attempts are
mr.-.lc to make political capital out of
the most serious and momentous ques
tions that come before congress. Pol
itics obstructs legislation at every
step, and even v.hen good laws an'
enacted, politics interferes with their
enforcement, doing back to the text
there is some hope, however, when
epuMican senators become conscience
stricken and coniess their sins.

Says a medical authority: "It does
seem strange that since there is no
charge for air, so little of it is used."
Probably that is the trouble it's free.
:o:
While the Russians managed to take
.Mush by storm, the fall of that Turk
ish town is not likely to restrict the
amount of mush still given general
circulation in our leading magazines.
. :o:
It is something to know that the pa
per mills of America are also running
to capacity, paper not being especially
used in war. Rut war is generally
used for an excuse to raise the price,
as everything else is.

Hon. 1). W. Livingston of Nebraska
City visited Plattsmouth Wednesday
for a brief period. Mr. Livingston is
a candidate for the democratic nomi
nation for congress and he is a splen
did man for the place. Dan Livingston
is a fine talker, one of the best citizens
in southeast Nebraska, and if nomi
nated and elected, he will be heard
from in the halls of congress.
:o:
In th opinion of Henry Clews, the
great financier, the European war will
not last over the corning winter. This
is basd oil his opinion that finances
will give out by that time. He thinks
it will be the last great war, as when
the warring nations will have time to
calmly foot up their losses in men and
material wealth they will fully realize
that no nation is .the gainer by any
war of that kind it may wage.

surprised at the elusiveness of Villa

:o :
Judge A. M. Morrissey should be
nominated for chief justice of the su
preme court, to which position he was
appointed by (lovcrnor Morehead two
years ago. He has proved himself to
be the "right man in the right place."
:o:
Thirty-six counties of the slat? of
Nebraska sent no convicts to the peni
tentiary last year, and most of them
are bragging about it. It may or may
not be cause for boasting. The Jour
nal would be happy to boast of such a
condition, but every year we send our
quota to that institution. Under the
circumstances, it is sufficient to re
mark that in this county culprits are
scrupulously punished and the ungod
ly are given what is corning to them.
:o:
Ex-President Taft estimated that it
is going to take 400,000 men to finish
the work in Mexico, and if the trouble
develops as promised, he isn't so far
wrong, which makes a good joke out
of the Hay preparedness bill, if it
were not that already. Eliminating
overseas garrisons, coast artillery,
quartermaster's department, etc., the
country can muster some CO.OOO fight
ing men out of the present army of
100.000. ' And to increase that force
by 40,000 wouldn't increase the mo
bile force that much.

NURRASK A.
(Washington, 1). C. Star)
Mr. Rryan never played a bolder
game in his life than he is playing
light now at home. He has thrown
himself into the state campaign for
all he is worth. His brother is a can
didate for the democratic nomination
for governor, and 1k is supporting
hirn. He is also supporting one of the
candidates for the democratic nomi
nation for United States senator. On
the stump, he Is making three
speeches a day. and his plan is to vis
it every county. Primary day is
April IS.
If Mr. Rryan is successful in this
venture; if his candidates are nomi
nated and the platform shows the im
press of his influence, he will be ex
tremely cocky at St. Louis. Holding
that the home folks are behind him,
and that that means the indorsement
for all for which he now stands, he
will insist mo.e stoutly than ever on
being heard and heeded for the pol
icies he is recommending.
On the other hnr.J. ii' his candidates
are deTeated, and the platform drawn
on lines opposed, to his wishes, lie will
appear at St. Louis considerably
shoi n.
At home, during his long national
leadership. Mr. Rryan has had his ups
and down--. Twenty years ago he
liroiight distinction to the state by his
picturesque triumph at Chicago, ami
his neighbors, without "cgard to par
ty, were very proud oi him. They en
joyed greatly the wide recognition of
him as an orator, and the testimonials
to his personal excellencies.
Rut there have keen periods of cool
ness. Fame brought prosperity, and
prosperity broadened Mr. Rryan's in
terests. In a way, he ceased to be a
Nebraskan and became a citi.cn at
large. His absences from the state
became frequent and protracted. lie
was in request everywhere, both as a
politician and an ntcrtainer. He es
tablished two additional residences
one in iexas, tnc omen in norma.
This gave him hut Utile time at Lin
coln, and his old neighbors missed
him.
One result of all this has been the
birth and growth of an anti-Rrynn
faction in the local democracy. What
its present strength is we shall short
ly know. Mr. Rryan has challenged
it to a showdown. If he can secure his
brother's nomination and then election
for governor, he will be in a-position
to dictate terms for the future to
those in his party who have been op
posing him. If he loses, they will be
able to dictate ter ns to him. The is
sue in the democratic camp is Rryan
or anti-Rryan.
:o:
Political matter in this paper is all
paid for at legal rates. And no one
has a right to question our privilege
of taking such advertising. Other pa
pers are doing it all over the state.
to:
So many conflicting reports are
coming from Mexico that it isn't to
be wondered that the European news
is so unreliable. Unless the news
from either place has its picture taken
today, it won't recognize itself tomor
row. :o:
When nations are clutching at the
throat of nations and men arc breed
ing hatred for one another the much
dreamed of peace of the world seems
far distant. And yet there are those
who believe that this horrible war will
put a stop to all prospective wars of
the future.
:o:
Since General Pershing's punitive
expedition into Mexico started, Presi
dent Wilson and others have been too
preoccupied in looking after the Mex
ican affairs to pay much attention to
outside issues. While w' are thus
occupied it would be well for all
Americans to stay at home and away
from Europe.
